Communist Party of New York

The Communist Party of New York (CPNY) was a communist political party that existed in the United States from 1870 to 1936. The party split from the Independent Communist Party of New York in 1870 due to their more radical views, as the CPNY proposed complete government control over the economy, state atheism, limited rrights for immigrants, and an aggressive military policy. While the ICPNY was built on the principles of establishing an inclusive society in New York City, CPNY advocated the creation of a totalitarian communist society. The party was allied with the ICPNY during elections, but the two parties' political views varied drastically.
